I have some intro to python homework I can't seem to get right.

The question is : "Write a program to determine how much to tip the server in a restaurant. The tip should be 15% of the check, with a minimum of $2." And the hint suggested to use "if" statement.

This is what I've got so far but I get an error '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'float'

Bill = input("Enter bill amount")

if Bill > 13.4: print(Bill*0.15)

else: print(2)

input() returns a string. Therefore Bill is a string, and you cannot compare strings to numbers.

You can convert the input value to a floating-point value using float(), like this:

Bill = float(input("Enter bill amount"))
